Glasses Love

About This Movie

Glasses Love is a peculiar blend of adventure and comedy that captures the existential struggle of Jalal, a would-be actor stuck in a cycle of minor roles and heartbreak. Set against the backdrop of Tehran, it has this light-hearted yet somber vibe, almost like a reflective daydream. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm; you really get to feel Jalal's frustrations and dreams. The practical effects are simple but serve the narrative well. Performances are quite raw, which gives it an authentic feel. The film stands out for its exploration of aspirations versus reality, making you think about the price of fame and love in a very unique way.
